History & Culture

The story of Thomas Stone National Historic Site is not just the story of one of Maryland's signers of the Declaration of Independence. The Stone family has produced a colonial governor, and a state governor; a representative in the first Congress of the United States, and not only a signer of the Declaration of Independence, but a signer of the United States Constitution. For four centuries, the Stones of Maryland have played roles in some of the most significant events in American history.
